Federal League Cards

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

IS there a checklist any where that has all the Federal League cards?

Thanks

Lee

Lee, I was able to dig this up on the interwebs but cant imagine that it is complete as there appears to be several teams back in the day.

This one list 33 players

I don't know of a checklist of specific Federal League baseball cards, but here is a list of sets that have cards with players that have Federal League designations, which I culled from an old N54 thread:

Thanks it helps to have at least the sets that could have them in.

I know C46 has Walt Justis's only card in it, who pitched for the Blue Sox. Seeing as it's a minor league release they might have some more Federal League players too.

Thanks Andrew,

I am just looking for the cards that denote the Federal League team, not the players that played in the Federal League during their career, that would be a much larger collection to try to put together.

Looking for a more obtainable goal.

Heck of a first post, and welcome aboard!

Now THAT is a comprehensive list of Federal League cards. A lot of mystique surrounding that league, not the least of which is Weeghman Park in the Windy City.

1915 CJs: I have Blair, Tinker and Plank. Love 'em, awesome cards!

[brianp-beme]

Nice list, and welcome aboard first time poster!

Brian

[Casey2296]

Welcome aboard JJ and thanks for the list. Protocol on net54 is that every thread needs a card so post 'em if you got 'em.

Well, technically that earlier Checklist someone posted was an image of the back of one of the reprint set.

But as for more pics, here's my new collection so far:

I have posted several similar types of vintage card lists over the years, and I think every time at least one fellow forum member, and usually more, were able to provide useful info to improve upon what I had first posted.

It does make it all seem more like a community when it happens, so all is good!

Cool thread guys...Jerry

In 1914-1916 T213-2, you can add Danny Murphy with the Brooklyn Feds, note that Mullin appears with Indy as well as Newark, and Hooks Wiltse has two poses, portrait and pitching, with Brooklyn Fed.

I don't know if there are multiple types of Hendrix cards in this set, but mine is "Strike" not "Hit"

Thanks for all the additions! And it looks like there are two versions in this game (photo not mine):

I'm only casually knowledgeable about 1914 Polo Ground Game. I wonder if there's other variations for players or if it's print run dependent...or something else.

-edit- Found a Sports Col Daily article. "30 different players were included in the release but the full set actually contains 54 cards. 24 players were duplicated in order to provide additional game cards with different game play actions." Alright, then.

.....they couldn't find 24 other photos? Sheesh.

A few more updates for your Federal League card listing. In the E106 set Germany Schaefer's card has a Newark Feds designation.

Also in E106, Bender has the Federal League designation on both his striped cap and white cap versions, Chase on both his fielding and portrait cards, and Tinker on both his batting and portrait cards.

complete set of 1915 cracker jacks. Note: Jimmy Austen and Rube Marquard
are pictured in the set but never played in the Federal League.

[FrankWakefield]

Can you fine tune what it is you want?

There are cards that will have Fed League in the caption but depict a player (who was on a Federal League team) showing him wearing an NL or AL uniform... Are you wanting the caption to say Federal League, no matter the uniform? Or are you after seeing the Federal League uniform, eg the terrapin on the Baltimore jersey???

I think the original poster, and myself, wanted to make a list of cards with the caption to state a Federal League team.
